It's a 2 min. Video of my "Scratchbuilded" slot car track on MDF wood. I have used CARRERA GO!! 1:43 cars, with 9 volts supply. I have used copper tape 1/4 inch for the slots.
I hope you will like the little video!

  • thanks to the last comment, and yes the 2 lanes are exactly 41 feet 6 inches long. The tracks are closer at some points so that you need to race to get there first, only one car can pass. And like you said, to compensate, I have measured the 2 lines to make sure one car does not gain 3 inches every lap. I was thinking to go digital one day, but the fans of slot car racing does not like the fact that if both cars are equal and I am running in front on DIgital, you will never get in front.

  • its ok:) but how can you the lines make closer than the "factory" lines?

  • When you are working on wood, you decide the lines, you carv them in the wood using a spindle, and then you apply 2 copper tapes on each side with the DC electricity that goes in them. Then you just need to attach you copper tape back to the Carrera Black box. I am not using any plastic track at all. Because your in DIgital, you won't be able to drop your Voltage to 9v or 7 v, because the digital black box needs a minimum current to switch the lanes. I hope the details will help

  • How can you put nearest the two car line in the curves? And my cars dont drifting, how can i make? i have a digital 143

  • I am not sure I understand your question, but I have builded the track in wood, so that's why the cars are drifting, and the 2 lines are closer at some points.

  • Too bad they disabled your sound. Maybe you could add another. Nice track though!!!

  • I did not even knew they have disabled my sound... thanks for the info!

see all

  • what materials have you used????

    nice track

  • As you got the grooves into the wood  ???

  • lol that black and grey mercedes at :28 is the same on that i have =) well i do have like 18 slot cars and they are all super cars so ya i would tend to have that one..

  • What is the name of the song????

  • Alteeeeeeer, Geil!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Muss ich mir auch mal machen!

  • it is a truly impressive achievement here, but it seems to be suffering from a crucial flaw, namely th e complete uneveness of track distance in the two lanes. without 'crossovers' or digital lane switching one car will often be at a disadvantage.

    unless you have made the overall distance the same to compensate...

    really brilliant, though. great work.
